Skeleton King

Noah didn't speak.

A long silence lay between them.

Even Nou himself didn't know, without Prince Xiben and Earl Marina Homer pressing closely, the envoys of the magic island were watching from the dark, after knowing Ace's hidden identity, after knowing his mistake to the Green family What would he do at the moment when he was most angry after the loss he caused.

Ace clearly understood Noou's expression, and he said, "You know everything."

Ace uses declarative sentences instead of interrogative sentences.Although he is not wary of Nuo'ou, he is also the person who knows Nuo'ou best.

Nou already knew all the truth.

It's just that Ace told him the truth himself, after Ace was bound by star chains in the cellar of the Duke Green's mansion.Konou now wonders what Ace would have said if none of those things had happened.

Nuoou exhausted all his strength and asked, "What do you want to say?"

He has to resist the illusion created by the star of hope and remind himself not to indulge in it.

This scene doesn't look like that to Ace.He thought that the fact that Nuo Ou just knew had hit him badly.

Ace watched Nou quietly, and he walked slowly to Nou.At this time, he is no longer the master of the city that never sleeps or the realm of the dead. He is just an ordinary man facing the heartbroken look of his beloved. He feels guilty and painful. Such feelings are not inferior to Nuoou. Standing in front of Nuoou without reservation, "I'm sorry. I'm willing to pay any price to make up for my mistakes."

More than a month ago, Nuo Ou didn't understand, he thought that Ace's concealment was a betrayal of him, and the matter of the Green family was a unilateral torture to him.

Now, he understands that in this emotional contest, Ace also suffered a crushing defeat.

They all fell in love with each other too early and too deeply before expressing their hearts.They are all losers in this love.

Because of their worries, there is the city that never sleeps and the dead world behind Ace, and Nou's greatest responsibility is the Green family; because of their dishonesty, they must step by step and be responsible for the lives of more people.

They wanted to protect each other with their own strength and become the armor of each other, but they all lost to the game of power.Their most important armor has become the weapon that hurts them the most.

Ace's eyes fell on the Dragon King's dagger on Noou's waist, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he would tolerate everything Noou did and would never get angry.

How could Nuoou win that gaze?

"This is just an illusion." The voice in Nou's heart said, "Kill this fake Ace, and you will be able to leave the shackles of Star of Hope and become an existence beyond the holy rank."

But Ace in front of him was so real.Unlike the old Duke and Duchess Green and Princess Bernadette, Noel didn't find any contradictions in Ace.

Unlike the old Duke Green, Ace immediately noticed Nou's pale face. He didn't care about anything else, and asked with concern: "Nou, what's wrong with you?"

The Dragon King's dagger fell to the ground.

Nou seemed to have lost all his strength, he fell straight forward, his head resting on Ace's shoulder, and he felt Ace's strong support on his arm.

"I'm sorry, Ace, I can't shoot you anymore."

……

"Duke Green, you have failed."

After Nuo Ou left the illusion built by Star of Hope, he returned to the Pansy Palace.

In the gazebo, Jacob, the envoy of the magic island, was still wearing the simple gray robe. His body was not stained with the slightest dust, and the expression on his face did not change. He looked indifferent and ascetic.

The sky in Pansy Palace was completely dark.

At this time, the palace should be in the middle of the night.It's just that Nuo Ou didn't know that he stayed in the illusion built by Star of Hope for a few days.

Nuoou's face was bloodless, and when he left the Star of Hope, the power of backlash caused extremely serious damage to his body and soul.Without the assistance of legendary potions, his injuries would not heal in a short time.

Nuo Ou reluctantly used Dou Qi to turn his heart veins and slightly stabilized his injury.He stood up and walked across from Jacob.

Nou didn't care about Jacob's sentence on him just now.He asked: "Are the things in the illusion, no, people, all fake?"

Jacob's eyes are empty and out of focus, and he says, "If you think he's fake, he's fake; if you think he's real, he's real."

Eliminate obsession?When Nuo Ou thought of what Jacob had said before, and the little girl's singing that he heard vaguely in the illusion, he still felt horrified.He believes that Jacob withheld extremely crucial information from him.

At this time, Nuo Ou has got rid of the control of Star of Hope, but he still feels that what happened in the illusion is very real, especially when he and Ace are in the corridor of Duke Green's mansion.

He now has a feeling that he stabbed Ace again just now, and the real Ace will die.

Nuo Ou didn't know whether it was because the influence of the Star of Hope on him had not subsided, or his intuition.He no longer wants to stay here, he just wants to go back to the Duke Green's mansion, back to the cellar.He wants to see Ace again.

Nou turned around and wanted to leave.

Jacob stopped him, "Duke Green, you forgot something."

Noah turned around.

Jacob handed him a quaint black key, "The key to the chain of stars."

The Star of Hope that was placed between Jacob and Noah is so cracked that it looks completely broken.Like Jacob said, Hope only has three chances to use it.

Nuo Ou said lightly: "I didn't get out of the illusion by myself."

Jacob said: "Duke Green, you have been in the Star of Hope for three days, so you don't know that the city that never sleeps and the world of the dead have captured more than 20 holy ranks from Magic Island, 100 branches of the Finger Empire and the Pansy Empire. The knights are also trapped in the dead world. The magic island has changed its strategy against the star scholars."

Star University Scholars belong to the Millais Library.The Millais Library is another subsidiary force of the Magic Island.

"Heh." Nuo Ou sneered, took the key of the star chain, and left the gazebo.
